Working with John in the studio took on many facets. Yes, we were there to record the songs and make a CD, but it also became quite the educational experience. Since this was my first CD, I had a lot to learn about recording and sound engineering as a client. And since John is a music teacher, there was a music education process set in motion as well. I was also appreciative if not sometimes “stretched” by John’s attention to musical and recording detail via his sharp listening skills. Possibly the highlight of the recording and producing process was his knowledge and skills in regards to the rhythmic aspects of our production.

Working with John Marrella on my songs, in his studio was a fun experience! I brought four original songs in skeletal form, and he helped me bring the songs to life. He does very professional work, and has a great ear for mixing music! He also played the drums, percussion, and keyboards for my songs! For that, I am grateful!
